Nitish Bharadwaj had gained immense popularity after playing Lord Krishna in the mythological series. In the video, he said that he still feels amused that people used to refer to him as God. Talking about it he said, "People were writing that I am Krishna, but no, I am a simple mortal man... If I have said something nice, then the credit goes to the scriptures, my parents and teachers. All of the shortcomings are just mine," he added.
Apart from mythological shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat, other Doordarshan shows like Mukesh Khanna's Shaktimaan, Byomkesh Bakshi, Shah Rukh Khan's Circus, Shriman Shrimati and Chanakya have also made a well-appreciated comeback.
